Under other circumstances that is a democrat resume enhancer:
Eric Massa is a snake. But he is a brilliant snake.
I have to say, I was skeptical about jumping on this guy (no pun intended) because of the numerous allegations against him regarding sexual impropriety.
And the wind is caused by trees shaking back and forth.
Apropos.................
...just a liberal point of view to explain away the truth...
Sounds like he learned from the masters.
“Millions of conservatives have embraced a liberal who defies everything they stand for, and he has become the sweetheart of Beck and Limbaugh.”
I say BS. This conservative here still thinks Massa is a low life commie, socialist, liberal willing to sell out America. The author of this article didn’t have any material for today so he made up a bunch of crap. The whole thing about Massa is nothing more than amusing to conservatives.
Conservatives must beware of the Ides of March.
Lefties like Massa could be nothing more than assassins(diversions) out to destroy(divide) conservatives during Obama’s push for Health Care Control.
The Bandaid .
No we haven't. What nonsense.
“Eric Massa is a brilliant, audacious snake.”
He ain’t fooling FReepers, and I doubt he is fooling any talk show guys either. He is a useful idiot, and WE will play him, not the other way around ;-)
This author is an idiot.
Hey at least it is one less Democrat. Perhaps we should rejoice in that.
I don’t think any of us embrace him. He is a skunk, but I do think that he is no more a skunk than Obozo and staff. So he may be telling the truth here.
Besides, we need to be entertained.
Yes, we really do believe Rahm Emanual wanders around the locker room "nekkid".
Doesn't take Massa to tell us that.
He probably does pelvic thrusts to make his points too.
You really can't tell a story about Rahm that's too gross to believe ~ the man is a bully who will use any and all techniques to get his way, and it appears to be hereditary. His brother advocates killing babies who misbehave!
Not knowing much about Massa, I think that Rush, Beck, et al, were excited and encouraged by WHAT he said and not HIM personally. I think they (Rush & company) found an demorat who buttressed their arguments with passion and verve and could be easily understood by the public at large.
As to Mr. Massa, the charges seem VERY convenient for Odumbo and his gang, and serve as a visible warning to others who might “stray” from the socialist path.
More information on Massa is needed before I am willing to render a verdict on him or the response from the conservative side.
Either purposely or by accident Lonsberry misses the point. None of the people he mentions “loves” Massa. He gets on their shows because he is a rare RAT who airs the party’s dirty laundry. Rahmbo is a thug and here we have an insider willing to testify to it. The enemy of my enemy isnt necessarily my friend, but he does get airtime.
He didn't really need to make up a bunch of crap. He's dead on. Massa had three reasons for leaving the House last week. He's a flaming (maybe literally) liberal. Now he's the darling of Beck. I didn't listen to Rush yesterday but I know how easy it is to pull one over on Beck, so Massa is doing what he can do to earn the favor of conservatives (who he is ideologically opposite from).
The author has not been paying attention. Limbaugh and Beck and Hannity and others are not jumping on the Massa bandwagon thinking he is some conservative democrat being pushed out by Obama. They are jumping on the story for the same reason that you want to cover it up. Because of the way it shows Rhambo Emmanuel (and by extension Obama) as the true thugs they are.
Yes Massa is probably resigning because there is something nasty in his past that would be dredged up by this ethics investigation. What everyone is concentrating on is the thuggish behavior of Rhambo. Does anyone doubt the Congressional showerroom scene happened?
When I first heard his rant, I went searching the internet for a copy so I could send it to those I know who haven't turned against Obama yet.
But the locker room thing bothered me. I've been a men's locker room regular for more than half a century. I just came back from my gym. No guy I know would talk about missing curtains in the showers in his locker room. They simply do not exist; at least in any of the dozens of men's locker rooms I've been in. (Girls: I know you have them because in high school the visiting boys teams would use the girls locker room, at least when I was in high school.) And then he talked about how strange it was for him to have a political discussion with a naked man in his locker room. And I have to say I think it is more strange to notice how dressed or undressed someone is in the locker room. Those of us who discuss politics discuss politics. And once we get dressed we leave. Massa's story doesn't ring true, to me at least.
